Ted, As far as I'm aware, this is a forum for discussing technical aspects of privacy, rather than policy aspects. As such, debating the policy implications of true 'perfect' e2e encryption seems out of scope, though I'd assume that being notified of useful articles about it is worthy. Still, a casual ad hominem like yours constitutes a far greater trolling action in the IETF than a serious posting to a an article about a difficult topic. Attempting to marginalize a serious person's serious posting by attacking their motives is supposed to be unacceptable in the IETF. In fact since it prompted Stephen's response, I'd say that the comment on downsides to 'perfect e2e encryption' was useful: I class Stephen's clarification of the difference between the goal of perfect e2e encryption, vs. the currently-attainable far-less-than-perfect, an essential clarification to discussions about efforts like https-everywhere. This is not an intimate conversation amongst well-acquainted colleagues subject to their own private social contract of behavior. It's a public forum. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net _______________________________________________ perpass mailing list perpass@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/perpass
